Before trying to open the files in OSX, if possible, try changing all instances of Beijing to Song on a pre-OSX system with ClarisWorks/ AppleWorks. I know when I open a document and the font is missing/no lon= ger installed, WordPerfect will default to Geneva as well. Fortunately, with WordPerfect I can change document codes (including font names) directly, = but this is not possible with AppleWorks, AFAIK. If the document is more Chinese than English, and not so much formatting is involved, she could a= lso just try pasting from AppleWorks to SimpleText (WorldText?), saving as plain text, and pasting into AppleWorks.
